Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences you’ll ever have, and too often, people turn to avoidance, isolation, or other harmful behaviors just to get by. While it's normal and natural to hurt and grieve, you need to make sure you stay healthy, too. 

Here, the caring and dedicated staff members at Fred D. Knapp & Son Funeral Home, a locally owned, family-run business based in Greenwich, CT, offer their tips to help you to cope with grief after a funeral:

  • Maintain a Healthy Diet: After a loss, the last thing on anyone’s mind is eating. Although you may not feel like it, preparing foods that are nutritious will help balance out your hormones and ensure you keep up your energy levels, which will help you cope in the long run.
  • Reach Out to Friends & Family: You might want to isolate yourself from the world, feeling it’s simply too difficult to see anyone. However, it’s vital not to do this. Spending time with people you trust and love can help ease the pain of the loss.
  • Funeral Accept the Loss: Accepting the loss will help you feel at peace. It’s important to remember acceptance is not the same as forgetting. It simply means you understand loss is a part of life and letting go of your grief is not the same as letting go of the memories of your loved one.

Since 1846, Fred D. Knapp & Son Funeral Home has been providing funeral services and support to families in the Greenwich community. When tragedy strikes, they are with you every step of the way, and all is accomplished efficiently by a team of compassionate staff members. For more information, please call (203) 869-0315, or visit their website for a full list of services.
